Want to help the environment while improving your physical wellness? Join Delaware 4-H in plogging, an activity that combines jogging and picking up litter. To celebrate Earth Day, we are hosting a week-long plogging campaign, where youth can pick up litter while jogging/walking in their local neighborhoods and parks. This campaign provides a fun Earth Day activity while improving environmental, physical, emotional, and social wellness for all.

The goal of this event is to pick up as much trash as possible while you are out jogging (plogging) or hiking (pliking). Participants have between May 18th through May 31st complete this event(s). Over the week, weigh how much trash you or your group collect. Participants are encouraged to track their steps/mileage while plogging. Those who send their total weight collected will be included in a raffle for a $100.00 Amazon gift card. Participants will be responsible for proper disposal of the litter collected.

​Email your total weight of trash to krjohn@udel.edu to be registered for the gift card raffle. Participants who track their steps/miles and send in their totals will receive an extra entry into the raffle. Participants who include a picture of their family and friends plogging will be recognized.

Participants who pre-register for this event by filling out this form will receive a prize.

Common items used for plogging are trash bags, gloves, hand sanitizer and masks. If you or your club are having a hard time finding these items, 4-H has a limited supply that we can provide you. Please reach out to krjohn@udel.edu for more information.
